City Metro Bus — Automated Fare Collection Deployment
Problem
A city metro bus operator serving 80+ routes and 200+ vehicles was losing an estimated 15–25% of fare revenue through manual cash collection. Reconciliation was delayed by 3–5 days, and the operator had no real-time visibility into ridership or route-level performance.
Approach
TransportR conducted a full operational assessment, designed a phased AFC rollout across the fleet, and deployed NFC validators on all vehicles. The system was integrated with the operator's existing fleet management tools and a new revenue reporting dashboard.
Solution
- TR-V200 bus validators deployed across 200+ vehicles
- NFC cards, mobile money, and contactless bank card payments enabled
- Revenue reporting and reconciliation dashboard deployed
- Operator and supervisor training completed across all depots

Stadium & Event Ticketing — Digital Access Control & Revenue Management
Problem
A multi-venue events operator managing 3 stadiums and 5 entertainment arenas was losing significant revenue through counterfeit paper tickets, untracked complimentary entries, and long manual verification queues. There was no centralized view of attendance, ticket sales by channel, or per-event revenue — and reconciliation between box offices, agents, and online sales took up to 7 days.
Approach
TransportR conducted a full venue assessment, deployed digital ticketing infrastructure across all entry gates, and implemented a centralized event management platform with real-time ticket validation, field team coordination, and multi-channel revenue reporting.
Solution
- TR-V200 gate validators deployed at 60+ entry turnstiles across all venues
- QR code and NFC-based ticket validation for instant, fraud-proof gate entry
- Ticket team management module with agent assignment, sales targets, and real-time tracking
- Multi-channel revenue dashboard covering box office, agent, and online ticket sales

Logistics & Delivery Company — Fleet Visibility & Proof-of-Delivery Digitization
Problem
A regional logistics operator running 120+ delivery vehicles across 3 cities had no real-time visibility into fleet location, delivery status, or driver performance. Proof of delivery was paper-based, leading to frequent customer disputes, delayed invoicing, and an estimated 10–20% revenue leakage from unverifiable drop-offs and route diversions.
Approach
TransportR deployed GPS-enabled handheld terminals for all drivers, integrated vehicle tracking across the fleet, and built a centralized dispatch and delivery management dashboard with automated proof-of-delivery capture and real-time route monitoring.
Solution
- TR-H100 handheld terminals deployed to 120+ drivers with GPS and digital signature capture
- Real-time vehicle tracking integrated with dispatch and route planning
- Digital proof-of-delivery system with photo, signature, and timestamp verification
- Centralized operations dashboard with delivery SLA tracking and driver performance analytics

On-Demand Delivery Platform — Rider Dispatch & Customer Experience Optimization
Problem
A fast-growing on-demand delivery platform operating 500+ riders across 2 cities was struggling with manual rider assignment, inconsistent delivery times, and poor order visibility for customers.

Approach
TransportR deployed a rider-facing mobile app with GPS tracking and automated dispatch, a customer-facing order tracking interface, and a centralized operations dashboard for real-time fleet management, earnings reconciliation, and delivery performance analytics.
Solution
- Rider mobile app with automated dispatch, GPS tracking, and digital proof-of-delivery
- Customer-facing live order tracking with estimated arrival times and delivery notifications
- Automated rider earnings calculation and daily settlement reporting
- Operations dashboard with zone-level demand heatmaps, SLA monitoring, and rider performance scoring
